2019 Ram 1500 gets C-shaped lights, brawnier mask

The 2019 Dodge Ram's exterior has been leaked from a dealer meeting, which were originally published by Allpar.

The next-gen Ram 1500 will be built in Sterling Heights, Michigan.

Up front, the 2019 Dodge Ram features a redesigned radiator grille without the 'RAM' lettering, car-like headlights with LED signatures, redesigned bumper a skid plate and what seems like horizontally positioned fog lights. The profile isn't seen in these images but spy shots suggest that the crew cab version may have a larger rear door opening and more rear-seat space. At the rear, tailgate has been resculpted and there are C-shaped vertical tail lamps which could have LED technology.

As for the interior changes, it has been reported that the 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 is being tested with the steering wheel from the Chrysler Pacifica and may be fitted with the UConnect infotainment system. Apart from the steering wheel, everything else seen in the spy shots is identical to the current model, indicating those changes are still work in progress, and not ready for testing.

The 2019 Ram 1500 will reportedly get powered by 3.6- and 5.7-liter gasoline engines and a 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine.

The 2019 Ram 1500 is expected to be offered with revised versions of the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6, 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engines. The new generation model will be built in Sterling Heights, Michigan, starting January 2018.
